Anonymous	This stuff if pretty weak for the author (it's his first stuff probably) but nonetheless it's worth a go. Definitely check out this guy's other maps, they're guite good.	x
Anonymous	Fun, good quality map.	x

Note: At one point in developing the level, I started getting "savegame
buffer overruns" when I tried to save the game (meaning the game would
crash instantly when I tried to save). I removed some things until the
problem seems to be fixed. If you do have this problem and you're running
the game under Windows 95, try launching it from the shortcut I've
included in this zip file.

Just copy the "Dark Mountain" shortcut and DARKMTN.WAD to your heretic folder,
then double-click on the shortcut. The shortcut is setup to run the wad in
skill level 4, so if you want a different skill level, edit the shortcut to
change the skill level number (right-click the shortcut, select properties,
click the program tab, then change the number at the end of the line in the
"cmd line" edit box.

I've also included a batch file if you're running the game from DOS. Just
copy DARMMTN.BAT and DARKMTN.WAD to your Heretic directory, then type DARKMTN.
To play a different skill level, just edit the batch file and change "-skill 4"
to whatever you want.
